Here we go again...
This tank was originally set up as a hospital/quarantine tank when I started my 29 gallon seen herehttp://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=161041. (luckily never had to use it) Now that I'm done adding fish to that tank I'm gonna turn this into a sps/lps reef tank. I haven't decided if I'm gonna add any fish to this tank or not , if I do It'll probably be a six line wrasse and that's it.
I'm waiting for my tax return to come into to order the lights, right now I'm aiming for the nova extreme 4x24 24" fixture or if I find a good deal on a metal halide pendant I'll pick that up. As far as other equipment goes I have an aqua c remora w/ MJ1200, a mj1200 and 900 for flow and the little hob filter as a refuge/grow out for the mangroves.
The plan for this tank is to have a natural look with the least amount of equipment showing inside the tank, I'd also like to grow a mangrove tree out of the display.
Enough talk now onto the pictures.
This is how the tank sat for about two months, no aquascaping done just the rock thrown in there and the stock pump from an ap12.
This is how the tank looks now, I don't know how much live rock is in there because I took some out another tank but I know there's more than 20lbs.
And the FTS. The tank will be moved from in front of the window as soon as my 45 gallon sells
Powerhead placement, I have the mj1200 directed behind the rock so keep any waste from settling there, and a mj900 directed across the tank for flow.
